WINE REVIEW • 2017 Single Vineyard Nebbiolo
It’s seems we are headed into red-wine-weather fast and furious if this past weekend is anything to go by! Nebbiolo might be what you are looking for -- to drink now or cellar. Here is what Mike Frost has to say:
“The classic Italian grape of Barolo and Barbaresco is given an Australian makeover with this Yarra Valley red, from Soumah's Hexham vineyard, with its distinctive rose and savoury characters, a touch of violet and tobacco leaf, with long, fine firm tannins which belie its pale colour. This is definitely one to cellar for five years or more, at which stage it should be a lovely match for Mediterranean style lamb dishes. 95 Points.”
